How annoying is XP registration forcing ?

[gustavo]

I was planning to upgrade from win2k to winXP but I learned that XP forces you to register not just
the first time you make the installation but every time you change something at your hardware or
something of the like not clearly defined.

I think if true it would be very annoying and wanted to know for sure what XP forces you to do.

Would somebody of you please explain me ??

Thanks Gustavo.-:frown:

You are not required to register Win xp at all. Use the search function in the "operating system" forum to research product activation which has been discussed to death on the forums here.

XP doesn't force you to do anything, and if you frequently format reinstall, simply don't activate at all untill you have it setup right. You have 30 days to activate, reinstalling simply restarts the clock over at 30 days.
